Ugh! Now I have the desire to play Super Star Trek. Because the cool kids in the computer club (they had very limited space in the computer room and I didn’t get in) got to play it on the mainframe teletype.

They have a list of valid numbers and since they are scammers they don’t care if they are breaking the law by calling you.

I’ve done it a few times. It’s not the best but vr would be far worse.

Do you think “how do I turn video back on?” would be easier in VR? You have obviously never used VR.

Origin of Purple Klingons.

There’s nothing VR would give you that streaming video like FaceTime gives you. A smartphone is better because they can point it at things they couldn’t reach if they had a headset on.

Just video call and have them point with one hand while holding their phone with the other.

I wouldn’t recommend it either but your VR info is out of date. Quest3 can live stream and does inside out tracking so it never “loses” tracking. It can stream a live color view. Even my Quest 2 lets me walk all over the house but only with a grainy black and white feed.

Nobody warned me that 2018 was the best time to see Saturn!

6 years before the rings are aligned at a good angle to earth again?

One but buy extra controllers so 4 people can play Mario Kart, etc together.

Edit: btw I had the same confusion over the switch which caused me not to buy it for years. Last year someone visiting with their child expressed the same confusion.

It’s never work in the US because holding private companies accountable for how they spend public money and maintaining well regulated competitive markets is communism or something

It did work in the US for many years. During the 90’s the Internet was regulated like that. Phone lines, t1’s etc were infrastructure that the ilec was required to provide at the same cost to isps they used internally to sell service to consumers.

Then Bush came in and ruled that fiber and cable were immune from those common carrier laws.

It’s not Stratasys. They did the original patented work in 1996.

This is someone who in 2020, copied the Stratasys patent, submitted it as their own new work, and were granted it!

Sorry for the link but it’s the first one I found to the Python sketch.

I’m confused by The Adventures of Superboy. Google shows a 1961 BW TV show but the picture is in color and looks like late 60’s.

There was a 1988 Superboy.

Edit: this is the 1988 Lex. It should be after the Gene Hackman Lex from 1978.

As others gave said, the solution is a VM but once setup correctly, you won’t notice.

If Windows is your primary computer, install HyperV, the built in VM manager for Windows. Then create a Linux VM for your NAS.

Once setup, you won’t even notice. HyperV auto saves and reloads the VM whenever you reboot. You don’t even need a window open for the VM, it runs in the background until you run the manager to connect to the VM and see it in a window.

If Linux is your primary OS, do the reverse and put Windows in a Linux VM.

Don’t hassle with Proxmox, etc. That’s for running lots of VM’s and toggling between them.

You might want to consider that backups only protect very old data from ransomware.

Ransomware works by getting on a machine and sitting for several months before activating. During that time, your data is encrypted but you don’t know because when you open a file, your computer decrypts it and shows you what you expect to see. So your backups are working but are saving files that will be lost once the ransom ware activates.

The only solution is to frequently manually verify the backup from a known safe computer. Years ago I looked for something to automate this but didn’t find it. (Something like a raspberry pi with no Internet that can only see the PC it’s testing, compares a known file, then touches the file so it gets backed up again.)

I’m an idiot. I looked at only the large text and completely missed the small text.

Ok, I’ve read it many times, took a break read it again and still don’t get it.

The OP is missing something. The two specific funds of his 5 holdings that he said he bought are both up. The 3 he didn’t provide specifics are up too.

$15k should be all in Vanguard total market index. Smaller funds are riskier and could take decades to show their greater returns.

People complained that a few things were hard to find, but not that the control panel itself was convoluted.

Just because you can break RSA doesn’t mean you instantly get access to all private databases.

Encryption by itself isn’t important. You know all those big company data leaks that seem to happen every month? That data was very likely encrypted. But it doesn’t matter because when you control a computer, you can see the encryption keys being used and decrypt whatever is stored.

What does it do that you can’t get by typing something into the chatgpt website?
